A blog devoted to the cards I make in my tiny upstairs space. When my sister stays there, she calls it an "artist's garret". I'm not an artist, but am an enthusiastic cardmaker - hence the title "Cardmaker's Garret".

Mood Board Inspired Wreath

I was completely inspired by the photo on the upper right of the Peace on Earth mood board (see at end of post) to create this card:

The background is from an advertising flyer - it has faint lines that make me think of the wood background in my inspiration photo.  The wreath is composed of lots of die cuts from scraps of cs and dp.  Stickles are added to the centre of the little poinsettia and a few white pearls are added to represent the white flowers in the image.

We'd love to see your cards either inspired by our mood board or an "anything Christmas" card.  There's lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team at Peace on Earth.

I'm also adding it the 52 Card Throwdown wreath challenge.










Supplies:
Paper - off white cs, recycled advertising flyer, various scraps of dp and cs
Size - A2
Accessories - various wreath, greenery, and berry sprig dies; gold Stickles, white pearls, Penny Black "joy" die
